Take two buddies, who just happen to be secret agents, add one beautiful woman, throw in a dash of covert antics, shake liberally… and you have what is an enjoyable time at the movies. Plus three points: one for former queen of the romantic comedies, [...]

Seems like every time the dude steps foot in a car it wrecks and/or blows up. Maybe he’s saved so much with Geico he just doesn’t care! MI 4’s story [...]

In Underworld: Awakening, she reprises her role as Selene, a vampire with a cold gaze and enough cold-blooded ruthlessness to keep an entire meat freezer cool. In this fourth installment of the Underworld series, the humans have discovered that vampires and Lycans [...]

Haywire tells the story of Mallory Kane (Gina Carano), a freelancing operative who works on contract when the Government officials don’t want to get their hands dirty.

You can breathe a little easier, and go back to your normal routines without having to worry about vampires sneaking around trying to drink your blood. Blade (Wesley Snipes) has come to the rescue once again in Blade Trinity. Joining Blade’s crew of merry men [...]

Then, in a tone so severe it made you wonder if you were going in a time [...]

The title is rather misleading, though. For starters, because of the type of film it is, you’d think it’s about three ladies, one of Asian decent, one of [...]

JCVD plays twins in the action film, but the real scene stealer is the huge knot on JCVD’s forehead. He must’ve hurt himself pretty bad at some point and once you see it, you can’t look away.
